Referring now to these figures, FIG. 1 represents the results of u-heptane isomerization runs, as follows:
Summarily, these figures indicate that HSbF supported on ruthenium-promoted fluorided alumina gives the highest conversion ofn-heptane and 2-methy1hexane to more highly branched isomers.
In view of the foregoing actually-performed runs. the
following statements as to the applicability and operability of the invention are made.
The invention is applicable to any paraffin containing 4 to 8 carbon atoms, employing HSbF supported on a ruthenium-promoted fluorided alumina.
The quantity of ruthenium metal deposited on the catalyst can be in the range of from about 0.05 to about 10 weight percent based upon the total weight of the supported composition. Preferably the quantity of ruthenium will be within the range of from about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent on the aforesaid basis.
EXAMPLE v The runs were made at 0C, atmospheric pressure, mols H lmol n-heptane and the feed contained 16 mol percent methylcyclohexane and 84 mol percent Itheptane. The glc results (excluding n-heptane) in Table 1X indicate the greater selectivity to multibranched products in the ruthenium-promoted fluorided alumina 10 system as reflected by the higher values for the "Ratio TABLE 1X n-Heptane isomerization Runs with SbF.-.-HF on Ruthenium Promoted Fluorided Alumina and SbF,-.-HF on Fluorided Alumina "Ruthenium promoted fluorided alumina; 33.1 Weight percent total of SbF and HF based on the total weight of the supported composition.
"Fluorided alumina; 10.3 weight percent total of Shh and HF based on the total weight of the supported composition.
Glc analyses of fraction of product (excluding n-Cflt No. Abbreviations are det'med in footnote to Table l.
The total quantity of SbF.-, and HF, which can be considered as HSbF.,, based on the total weight of the supported composition can be within the range of from about 1 to about 50 weight percent and preferably it will be within the range of from about 5 to about weight percent.
The hydrocarbon feed will be introduced into contact with the catalyst with hydrogen, the molar ratio of hydrogen to hydrocarbon feedstock being within the range of from about 0.1 to about 100 and preferably from about 1 to about 20.
The isomerization can be conducted at a temperature within the range of from about --80" to about 100C. Preferably, it will be conducted at a temperature within the range of from about 0 to about C. The pressure can be within the range of from about 0.1 to about 70 atmospheres. Preferably, the pressure will be within the range of from about 1 to about 5 atmospheres.
The isomerization can be conducted at a gaseous space velocity within the range of from about 5 to about 5,000 volumes of gaseous feed (hydrocarbon plus hydrogen feed) per volume of catalyst per hour and preferably within the range of from about 100 to 1,000 volumes per volume per hour.
The runs described below in Example V were carried out to compare the SbF -,-HF catalyst on. rutheniumpromoted fluorided alumina with the SbF -HF catalyst on fluorided alumina in regard to selectivity to multibranched products obtained in a normal heptane isomerization.
